The Decline Of the Nose.

Tie nose is, if we are to believe M.
lie Bee. a French savant, gradually
losing its power to discharge its tradi-
tional function in the case of the civ
ilized people; and when the sense of
smell vanishes altogether, as will in
fallibly be the case orc day he tells
It's, the organ itself is bound to follow
its example sooner or later. 1t is no
doubt the fact, as he points out, that
the olfactory sense is ever so much
keener in the savage than in the civ
ilized man, and it is reasonable to con-
clude that the more we progress in
civilization the duler the sense will
grow. Its compile extinction, M. lie
Bee assures us, is ) mere question Of
time, and it is certain that nature
never conserves useless organs.
When the nose loses it's power of
smelling, the nose must CO." Civil
ization is gradually making us bald
(about that there can be no doubt
whatever), and it will be heavy price
to pay for it if we are to lose our noses
as well as our hair. Ii tn ever hap
pens the civilized world will, for one
thing. have to evise its standard OF
comeliness. 1t may be that the civil
lied man of tie future will see no
beauty in Greek statue unless it has
lost its nose, which, it is true, is the
case with mos of them.-[Pall Mall

ONE TENTH OF A DIME.
what a Cent Can DO ana What
II Cannot DO.


1t is almost impossible to attach any
importance to one cent, but at the
same time it is very important coin
at times, says an exchange.
IT will take q circular to California,
and it will make you madder than a
halter and a March hare combined
when you 60 to pay your fare on a
horse car, and find that you have but
four cents and ten-dollar bill.
One cent is very small, but when it
is added to the rate of interest you re-
ceive on a stock it possesses stern
magnificent grandeur that carries you
away like q strain Of music.
The penny, it seems, was made to
put on church plates, and, although a
man may say it amounts to nothing,
he will strike matches and lift mats
and crawl about in the straw on
horse car to find the one he drops. 1t
is 80 small coin that you have to
take off your glove to take hold OF it in
your poi 'ket, and yet it is so large,
when the baby swallows it, the
chances of the baby's living are some
times not worth cent.
Although one cent is less than ten
cents, yet one cent is great deal
larger than dime. Many man has
gone thirsty all day with four cents in
his pocket. For the want of that one
cent the four were as useless as the
eleven men on jury, who are held
out against by one.-[Dry Goods

The $1,000 Prize fer Jmtc.

1t is well krown that for some years
past prize OF $40, ,000 has been offered
to inventors or the first ten ba les OF
iute grown ard prepared for market in
the United Safes at cost which will
admit of successful competition with
that from Iidia. The principal and
apparently insurmountable obstacle
which confonts all efforts in this
direction is the lack of machine
which will prepare the jute' fibre for
use at ,ost low enough to offset
the very cheap hand labor of
India. Ii the jute plant the fibre
lies between the pith and the bark.
1t is necessary, therefore, to remove
the latter and separate the jute from
the pith it being also essential that
this be lone without injuring the
fibre, Which is one of the most deli
cate known. But as the natives Of
India dc this work for seven to ten
cents day, a substitute machine
would nd only have to overcome this
matter d cheapness, but would have
to perfom the task in as perfect a
manner Is is now done by Indian fin
gers, as veil as equal in other stages
to the Tork of preparation required
before tie jute is ready to enter the
factory. Boston Budget.
